In Case failed:To Reschedule the NCLEX Immediately After Taking the Exam-to save time

[handyman]

[California doesn't join the quick result]

Dear friends,

I have a question about an immediate rescheduling of the NCLEX-PN right after I took the exam. Can I make another payment of $75 to the BVNPT and also $200 to Pearson even before I get the notice that I must retake the exam?

The reason I'm asking this is just for anticipative purpose in case I don't pass....then I would be able once again to take the exam sooner rather than later.

You know in California the Board states that "candidates who have not passed the examination are allowed to retake the examination up to eight (8) times per year, but not more than once every 45 day period".

By the way, ooh please, don't get me wrong here....I'm asking you this question not because I am poor or not so good about my self confidence and readiness. Yet, it's simply because I know how good or bad I am...and I'm not such a genious person who can easily pass the exam at the very first time.

That's why my plan is to focus and keep studying even if I just came home from the Pearson test center today.

Now by doing this I don't need to wait up to 6 weeks then I start to reschedule for the exam which could take quite a long time; But by doing this I would probably take another test exactly on the 45th day. Not 3 months later or so.

Would you please help me about this?

Thank's for all of your input, suggestion and infos.

I would wait to see if you passed. Good luck!

IMO the 45 day waiting period may be from the time you failed(if you did), so sending the fees early would not help. I have a friend that did not pass and he took it 45 days after (from original test date) 1st fail and then he did pass.

Keep your hopes don't think negative, I know it is hard but do not give up on the idea that you did not pass so quickly. Don't know how true it is but it was told to us in school that if you walk away thinking you failed you probably passed, if you walk away thinking you knew it all you probably failed. So far of those in my class this rings true, those of us that thought for sure that we had failed actullay passed, while a few student that I talked to said WOW that was easier than any test in school were the ones that failed and had to retake.

That's right. Once the computer determines that you have failed the test, it will just shoot you easy questions to get you to your limit of 85.

If you have not failed the exam you keep getting those hard questions.
